  3. 22. Seismic Analysis of Norra Tornen : A Comparison Based on the Requirements in Eurocode 8

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Andreas Barbaranelli; Andreas Wallin; [2019]
    Keywords : Earthquake design; High-Rise buildings; Tall buildings; Seismic Performance; Earthquake Engineering; Modal analysis; FE-analysis; Eurocode 8; Geotechnical engineering; Design Concepts; Foundation;

    Abstract : In Sweden, buildings are not designed to withstand earthquakes due to the rarity of an earthquake event and its consequential damage. However, the aim of this thesis was to study the seismic performance of some of the highest buildings in Stockholm, called Innovationen and Helix. READ MORE

  4. 23. Numerical analysis using simulations for a geothermal heat pump system. : Case study: modelling an energy efficient house

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Energisystem

  5. 24. Evaluating undrained shear strength of clay with DPSH-A - A down to earth assessment of the applicability in Scania, Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geoteknik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaper

    Author : Julia Knutsson; [2018]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The undrained shear strength of cohesive soils is an important parameter to assess in geotechnical investigations. It is normally evaluated with the cone penetration test (CPT) but problems with penetrating coarse, heterogeneous materials that is also hard, such as clay till, have pointed the interest towards other possible in-situ methods.

  6. 25. Strain Accumulation Due to Cyclic Loadings

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Mamdouh Mohamad; [2018]
    Keywords : Strain accumulation; Strain rates; Cyclic loadings; Accumulation model; Bochum accumulation model; Soil parameters; Axle configuration; Pavements; Vehicles; Boussinesq; Soil deformation;

    Abstract : The formation of plastic strains in non-cohesive soils due to large number of loading cycles is a phenomenon of great importance in geotechnical and civil engineering. It constitutes a considerable cause for failures and deformations in various types of engineering applications including pavements. READ MORE
